I usually sit in the back round and just observe the group, but think I feel like I would like to weigh on this matter. We have been here for four years. In that time frame many properties have more than doubled. It would be my advise to buy and do such as quickly as you can. Not saying this as a real estate company, just as our personal experience. There are plenty of sellers that will finance the purchase and even at higher end interest rates you will end up ahead in regard to your investment. Ideally , if you do not have the cash, you may wish to consider two other options. One would be to get a home equity up there while interest rates are low and the other would be to use some 401K or IRA money that you have stashed. This is a very legal and, (though a bit longer to get the deal done), way of investing in a place that you can vacation in, rent out and contribute the proceeds into your future retirement stash. Traditionally caribbean real estate evaluates 15%+ a year. More if you buy right. More if you are Roatan and buy right.
